I know that there are lot of explanations. But, there is one more easy way to understand with practical example. We all can connect to HTTP port 80, but does it mean only one user can connect to that port at a time?. The answer is obviously 'no'. Multiple users for multiple purposes can access HTTP port 80 but they still get proper response they are waiting for, from the server, can't they?. Now think about it for a minute, how?. Yes you are correct, its IP address that uniquely identifies different users who contacts for different purposes. If you would have read the previous answers before reaching here, you would know that IP address is a part of information that socket consists. Think about it, is it possible to have a communication without sockets?. The answer is 'Yes' but you cannot run more than one application in a port but we know that we are not a 'Dump' switch that runs on just hardware.

简短的回答。

端口可以被描述为主机中的内部地址，用于标识程序或进程。

套接字可以被描述为一个编程接口，允许一个程序在internet上或本地与其他程序或进程通信。

套接字= IP地址+端口(数字地址) 它们一起标识机器上网络连接的端点。(我刚刚是不是网络基础课不及格?)

这些是基本的网络概念，所以我将以一种简单而全面的方式详细解释它们。

插座就像电话(即端到端通信设备) IP就像你的电话号码(即你的插座地址) 端口就像您想要与之交谈的人(即您想从该地址订购的服务) 插座可以是客户端也可以是服务器端(例如，在公司中，客户支持的电话是服务器，但你家里的电话主要是客户端)

因此，网络中的套接字是绑定到一对(ip，端口)=(地址，服务)的虚拟通信设备。

注意:

A machine, a computer, a host, a mobile, or a PC can have multiple addresses , multiple open ports, and thus multiple sockets. Like in an office you can have multiple telephones with multiple telephone numbers and multiple people to talk to. Existence of an open/active port necessitate that you must have a socket bound to it, because it is the socket that makes the port accessible. However, you may have unused ports for the time being. Also note, in a server socket you can bind it to (a port, a specific address of a machine) or to (a port, all addresses of a machine) as in the telephone you may connect many telephone lines (telephone numbers) to a telephone or one specific telephone line to a telephone and still you can reach a person through all these telephone lines or through a specific telephone line. You can not associate (bind) a socket with two ports as in the telephone usually you can not always have two people using the same telephone at the same time . Advanced: on the same machine you cannot have two sockets with same type (client, or server) and same port and ip. However, if you are a client you can open two connections, with two sockets, to a server because the local port in each of these client's sockets is different)

希望它能消除你的疑虑

套接字是一种数据I/O机制。端口是通信协议的契约概念。套接字可以没有端口而存在。一个端口可以没有特定的套接字而存在(例如，如果同一个端口上有几个活动的套接字，这可能是某些协议允许的)。

端口用于确定接收端应该将数据包路由到哪个套接字，在许多协议中，但它并不总是必需的，接收套接字的选择可以通过其他方式完成——端口完全是网络子系统中协议处理程序使用的工具。例如，如果协议不使用端口，数据包可以到所有侦听套接字或任何套接字。

套接字允许在单个应用程序中两个应用程序之间进行通信 机器还是两台机器。实际上它就像门。如果门开了，就可以 是门内进程或应用程序之间的连接 在门外。

套接字有4种类型:

流套接字 数据报套接字 原始套接字 顺序数据包套接字。

套接字主要用于客户机-服务器应用程序。端口标识网络地址上的不同端点。它包含一个数值。总的来说，套接字是端口和网络地址的组合。
